I find too many have places that are muddy. Like when 1st graders get to use watercolors on big paper. Sort of a purpley yellowy greenish diareha looking color. UGH
Do you know anybody like me, who likes to put together landscape quilts? Maybe you could swap fabric with her? Some of those muddy colors look good in tree trunks and branches -and patches of earth.

I think you are right, though, those muddy colors do not add anything to geometrical patterns.
